Daily Thoughts 11/24/2012

I watched a bit of The Passions: Philosophy and the Intelligence of Emotions today.  Each video segment is about half an hour long.   There are 24 segments.  The segments cover a single aspect about emotion: grief, fear, love, etc. 

I also read some more of On Politics V.2.  Right now, I am reading about the political background of the American revolution.  The writings draw heavily on the Roman writers Cicero and Seneca.  They also are influenced by John Locke and Algernon Sidney.  I like that it mentions in the book that Jefferson sold his library to congress to found the Library of Congress.

I relaxed a bit and watched some cartoons.  Today has been a pleasant day.
